[Please describe your issue here]

$ corelist -v 5.18.4 Digest​::SHA
Digest​::SHA 5.84_01

But
https://metacpan.org/source/RJBS/perl-5.18.4/cpan/Digest-
SHA/lib/Digest/SHA.pm
says​:

$VERSION = '5.84_02';

Observation confirmed.

Locally I have available 5.18.2 and 5.18.4. IIRC, there was a considerable lapse of time between 5.18.2 and 5.18.3, but an error in 5.18.3 led to the quick issuance of 5.18.4.

The version of Module​::CoreList shipped with 5.18.2 is 3.03. This version correctly has a delta for Digest​::SHA in 5.18.1​:

#####
  5.018001 => {
  delta_from => 5.018000,
  changed => {
  'B' => '1.42_01',
  'Config' => '5.018001',
  'Digest​::SHA' => '5.84_01',
  'Module​::CoreList' => '2.96',
  'Module​::CoreList​::TieHashDelta'=> '2.96',
  'Module​::CoreList​::Utils'=> '2.96',
  },
  removed => {
  'VMS​::Filespec' => 1,
  }
  },
#####

The version of Module​::CoreList shipped with 5.18.4 was 3.13. This version lacks any delta for Digest​::SHA for either 5.18.3 or 5.18.4​:

#####
  5.018003 => {
  delta_from => 5.018002,
  changed => {
  'Module​::CoreList' => '3.12',
  'Module​::CoreList​::TieHashDelta'=> '3.12',
  'Module​::CoreList​::Utils'=> '3.12',
  },
  },
  5.018004 => {
  delta_from => 5.018003,
  changed => {
  'Module​::CoreList' => '3.13',
  'Module​::CoreList​::TieHashDelta'=> '3.13',
  'Module​::CoreList​::Utils'=> '3.13',
  },
  },
#####

This appears to explain why 'corelist -v 5.18.4 Digest​::SHA' fails to detect Digest​::SHA version 5.84_02.

Whether we can or should try to fix this at this late date should be discussed.

Thank you very much.
